[Dm] [G] [G]
I've been thinking about a broken heart I've been thinking about the break of dawn
If [F] you love me while [G] I'm here Then you [F] can miss me when [G] I'm gone
Sweet [C] misunderstanding [F] Won't you leave a poor [C] boy alone
[G] Cause I'm the one-eyed [C] seed of a tumbleweed [G] In the belly of a [Em] rolling stone
Back on the highway, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah [Dm] Back on [G] the road again
I had a little woman in Memphis She wanted to [C] be my bride
[G] She said, settle on down, traveling man You can stay right by my side
Well, I tried so [C] hard to please her [G] But I couldn't hold [C] out too long
[G] Cause one Saturday night I was laying in bed And I heard that [Em] highway call
Back on the highway, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah [G] Back on the road [C] again
[F] [G]
[G] One of these days that highway song's gonna lose its appeal to me
I'm gonna settle on down like a natural man And live my life saying free and [F] easy
Until that [G] day a thunder's gonna [F] roll And I notice there's a [G] sign of rain
[F] But I pack my [G] bags and grab my clothes And I'm out on the [Em] road again
Back on the highway, yeah, [C] yeah, yeah [G] Back on the road once again
Thinking about a [A] broken heart I've been thinking about the break of dawn
If you love me while I'm here You can miss me when I'm gone
[G]
Sweet [C] misunderstanding [G] Won't you leave a poor [C] boy alone
[G] Cause I'm the one-eyed seed of a tumbleweed In the belly of a [F] rolling stone
Back [Em] on the highway, yeah, yeah, [C] yeah Back [G] on the road again
[F] [C] [G] Here I am again holidaying Same [C] old four walls again
[G] Gee, but it's great to be home again Holidaying
[C] [G] [C]
